Jackass penguin (Spheniscus demersus)
The Jackass penguin, also known as the African penguin, is the only penguin species which breeds in Africa, and it is found nowhere else in the world. The name Jackass penguin is derived from its call, which is a donkey-like braying, heard mostly at night.
It has a black back and a white belly with a distinctive black chin and face patch separated from the crown by a broad white band. It has a narrow black band across the chest and down the flanks towards the legs. Adults measures about 60cm in length, and weigh between 2,4 and 3,6 kg.
Jackass penguins live in colonies and their breeding range extends from Hollamsbird Island, off central Namibia, to Bird Island in Algoa Bay.
